Combat work of the AGS-17 crew of the Vostok group of troops The 30 mm automatic grenade launcher AGS-17 Flame is capable of covering an area of ​​210 square metres, designed to destroy enemy personnel and fire weapons located outside of shelters - in open trenches, trenches and behind natural folds of the terrain (in hollows, ravines, on reverse slopes of heights). AGS-17 is especially effective against enemy infantry. Firing accuracy is affected by strong steppe winds, so calculations are constantly practiced in shooting at the range. In one magazine, which was nicknamed ‘snail’ for its shape, there were 29 shots. The scattering of fragments of each grenade, which are placed in a checkerboard pattern for greater density of destruction of the enemy, is about seven metres. The fire adjustment of the AGS-17 automatic grenade launcher is carried out using an unmanned aerial vehicle, which allows the crew to fire even from closed positions.  Join Military Wave Источник: Military Wave
